Maraming mahihirap na pamilyang Pilipino ang nakararanas ng kakulangan sa edukasyon, maayos na pabahay, at iba pang pangunahing serbisyo, batay sa inilabas na kauna-unahang opisyal na Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) ng Pilipinas, ayon sa Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DEPDev).

Batay sa datos ng 2024 Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS), tinatayang 12 percent ng mga pamilyang Pilipino ang “multidimensionally poor” habang 13 percent ng mga Pilipino o individual ang “multidimensionally poor.”

Ayon kay DEPDev Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan, ipinapakita ng MPI na ang kahirapan ay hindi lamang tungkol sa kita. Mahalaga rin kung may access ang mga Pilipino sa edukasyon, maayos na tirahan, at iba pang serbisyong kailangan upang magkaroon ng produktibo at marangal na pamumuhay.

Sa pangunguna ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), sinusukat ng MPI hindi lamang ang kita ng mga pamilya kundi pati ang kanilang access sa mahahalagang serbisyo at oportunidad na nakaaapekto sa kalidad ng kanilang buhay.
